Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming the subsea cable industry – reshaping how networks are built, optimised, and sustained. In a recent HOTShot interview at Submarine Networks World 2025, Anup Gupta, President (India and SAARC) at APTelecom, shared his perspective on how AI is “rewriting the rules” of global connectivity.
Anup discussed how AI is driving smarter data centres, accelerating new cable builds, and enabling unprecedented network speeds. He also challenged the industry to rethink sustainability, advocating for repurposing and salvaging end-of-life cables to turn environmental responsibility into economic opportunity.
Highlighting Africa as the next telecom frontier, Anup outlined how APTelecom partners with clients through every stage of development – from concept to connection – empowering growth, innovation, and collaboration across emerging markets.
